Sun., Dec. 13: ‘Star Wars’ remains a force in concert

When he portrayed the shiny gold robot C-3PO in all six Star Wars films, British actor Anthony Daniels traveled to all corners of a galaxy far, far away. This year, he’s discovered a brand new world to explore: that of the musical road warrior.

For more than two months, Daniels has traveled with an 86-piece orchestra, choir, a massive light and video display and truckloads of movie memorabilia to host and narrate Star Wars in Concert, a multimedia concert event that celebrates John Williams’ iconic musical score for the films. The tour ends its U.S. run with a show Sunday, Dec. 13, at Nashville’s Sommet Center (501 Broadway, 770-7825).

Alongside the epic musical performances — synced to a giant video display showing classic scenes from the films — Daniels acts as the concert’s onstage storyteller, weaving the saga together in broad strokes. There’s also an exhibit of costumes, props and memorabilia that’ll make fans drool like Jabba the Hutt.
